generosity
to be on the receiving end of endless gifts...
endless love...
endless support.
it humbles my heart.
not only is it better to give than to receive...
it is way easier!
for the second year in a row, we were blessed (by two of the most generous people we know!!) with the opportunity to join our amazing church community on an incredible trip to the mountains!
we spent three days taking in the creation of our magnificent Creator!
His mighty works surrounded us!
our hearts were fed the beautiful truths of His endless grace and love for us...
we've done nothing to deserve His love, nor can we ever add to it.
a weekend reminder to stop trying...
He loves us because He loves us because He loves us.
God took on human form, in Jesus Christ, to live on earth, die on the cross, conquer death...
and save us from our sinful-from-birth-selves!
He made the ultimate sacrifice...

all things
was reminded of this powerful(but so oft forgotten by me) truth...
“And we know that God causes all things
to work together for good
to those who love God…
to become conformed to the image of His Son.”
~Romans 8:28-29 NASB
not "some things"...ALL things!

true friendship
there is something unspeakably sweet about an eternal friendship.
i traveled many miles a few weeks ago to hold a dear friend in my arms again.
the face of a real friend warms a soul like nothing else.
my heart always holds you near, alexes...
praying His healing hands hold you ever closer.

9
that i've been given just one day with her...
it's one more than i deserve.
that i've spent nine years being her mamma...
it's blessings beyond all imagining.
the moment she entered the world, mine changed forever.
my precious first born! may you grow up knowing He loves you because He loves you because He loves you.

a purpose
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth. ~Psalm 108: 5
our sole reason for exsisting on this earth...
to glorify God.
not to be happy.
not to please others.
not to do more or try harder.
simply to bring the Creator of this whole universe glory.
every living thing created to simply bring God glory.
humbling...true.
"Let everything that has breath praise the LORD"
may all we do today, in word, thought and deed, bring Him glory.
